CRUISE HIGHLIGHTS

Cherbourg
Cherbourg is a proud maritime city with a long connection to the sea. Its wide harbour, historic quays and naval heritage give it a purposeful yet welcoming feel. Stroll along the waterfront, explore cultural landmarks or enjoy the relaxed pace of a city shaped by ocean life and history.

St Malo
Encircled by stone ramparts and shaped by powerful tides, St Malo is a city with drama in its bones. Walk the historic walls for sweeping sea views, explore narrow streets within the old town, or pause in a café as the rhythm of the tides transforms the shoreline. Bold, atmospheric and unmistakably Breton, St Malo leaves a lasting impression.

Antwerp
Antwerp combines historic grandeur with a lively, contemporary spirit. Medieval streets and grand squares sit alongside fashion districts, modern galleries and riverside promenades. The city’s rich trading history is visible everywhere - from ornate guild houses to bustling cafés — while its creative energy keeps the atmosphere fresh and engaging. Antwerp invites exploration on foot, rewarding those who wander with hidden courtyards, local flavours and a strong sense of place.
